But here’s where the plot thickens.

Dunk isn’t just a skater. He’s a researcher by day at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Imagine juggling the precision of medical research with the passion of figure skating.

It’s this juxtaposition that adds depth to his story, making him more than just a performer on ice.

And he’s not new to accolades.

Having been a Collegiate Champion for Suffolk University, Dunk knows how to shine, both on and off the ice.
